2. Dice the ham and bacon. Also cut the onion into small cubes.
3. If raw potatoes are used:
4. Wash, peel and thinly slice the potatoes.
5. Leave the bacon in a hot pan together with about 2 tablespoon clarified butter. Fry the potatoes in the hot fat for about 10 minutes until crispy. After about 5 minutes, add the onions and ham and fry them. Season well with salt, pepper and caraway seeds.
6. If ready-made jacket potatoes (preferably from the day before) are used:
7. Cut the potatoes into slices. Put the bacon in a hot pan together with 1! Leave out tablespoon clarified butter. Fry the potatoes together with the onions and ham until crispy (does not take as long as with the raw potatoes). Season well with salt, pepper and caraway seeds.
8. In the meantime, preheat the oven.
9. Top / bottom heating 200 ° C
10. Hot air 180 ° C (does not have to be preheated!)
11. Lightly grease a tart or casserole dish with clarified butter.
12. Layer the potatoes evenly in the pan and pour the pancake batter over them.
13. Bake in the hot oven for about 30 minutes.
14. Salad goes well with it.
15. The pill cake can be prepared with any kind of leftover refrigerator (e.g. pasta instead of potatoes, with leftover meat / sausage, with leftover vegetables (then use less potatoes) ). If you like, you can also bake it with cheese (possibly also leftovers).
16. A vegetarian variant (without ham and bacon, e.g. with potatoes and spinach ) is also possible! You can also experiment with the spices. There are actually no limits to the imagination.
